This piece looks very nice. Everything is hardwood except the bottom, which is semi-flexible thick cardboard (similar to bookshelf or entertainment center backings). I wouldnt put anything extremely heavy in there, but the bottom is well supported on all sides and it screws into the middle dividing boards, so it should be fairly sturdy. One thing that may not be totally clear from the pictures is that there are dividing boards on the inside that break up the interior into 3 evenly sized compartments, so you cant fit any large items like a thick comforter in there.
Assembly was fairly straightforward, although the springs on the hinged top need to be installed in an order that is not given in the instructions (put the spring-side screws in first, then screw it into the lid last). The stickers labeling each piece are difficult to remove and leave a residue, although most are on interior surfaces. After constructing this on its side, it is uneven and rocks pretty significantly. We fixed this by putting different thicknesses of pads on different legs.
When we got this at first, one of the pieces was broken, so we contacted the supplier directly (as they reasonably request) and they said it would be 8 weeks to replace that single piece. Instead of waiting that long, we decided to issue a return through , and they very quickly sent us a complete replacement.
